3. TRAINING PACKAGE

The training package includes the competencies chart, the flowchart, the modules, the

course structure, and the assessment guidelines.

3.1 Course structure

The course structure describes the learning outcomes for each learning unit. These learning

outcomes are the essential skills and knowledge to be acquired. The contents to be covered

for each learning outcome are prescriptive. The Learning activities contain a series of

suggestions, usually with several options, that will guide the learner and the trainer.

3.2 Competencies chart

The competencies chart is a table that presents an overview of the specific competencies,

the general competencies, the work process and the time allocated to each competency.

This table provides an overall view of the competencies of the training program and allows

identification of the logical sequence of the learning of these competencies.

The competencies chart shows the relationship between general and specific competencies

that are particular to the occupation, as well as the key stages of the work process. It shows

the links between the elements in the horizontal axis and those in the vertical axis. The

symbol (ο) marks a relationship between a general competency and specific competency.

The symbol (∆) indicates a relationship between a specific competency and a step in the

process of work. When the symbols are darkened, it indicates that the link is taken into

account in the description of the specific competency.

The competencies chart allows the trainer to consider the complexity of the competencies

in the organization of the progress of learning. Therefore, the vertical axis shows the specific

competencies in the order they should be acquired.

This is the starting point of the presentation of the competencies in the flowchart presented

in the following pages:

3.3 Flowchart

The flowchart of sequencing of learning is a schematic representation of the order of

acquisition of the competencies. It provides an overall planning of the entire training

programme and shows the relationship between the modules. This type of planning is to

ensure consistency and progression of learning. For each module, the flowchart shows the

learning that is already in place, the learning that is to take in parallel or later. The positions

defined will have a decisive impact on all subsequent pedagogical choices. The flowchart of

the sequence of learning of the modules of the training programme is presented on the

following page.

4. ASSESSMENT GUIDELINES

4.1 Assessment Methodology

To assess knowledge, practical, and application skills through a jury system of continuous

evaluation that encourages learners to display understanding of the principles in application

to set practical tasks and their attendant theory to assess self-learning.

4.2 Portfolio

A portfolio is a collection of learner work representing learner performance. It is a folder (or

binder or even a digital collection) containing the learner’s work as well as the learner’s

evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of the work. Portfolios reflect not only work

produced (such as papers and assignments, direct demonstration, indirect demonstration,

products, documents), but also it is a record of the activities undertaken over time as part of

learner learning. The portfolio is meant to show learner growth, development, and

achievements in the education system. It also shows that you have met specific learning

goals and requirements. A portfolio is not a project; it is an ongoing process for the

formative assessment. The portfolio output (formative assessment) will be considered only

as enough for complementary and general modules. Besides, it will serve as a verification

tool for each candidate that he/she attended the whole training before he/she undergoes

the summative assessment for specific modules.

There are two types of assessment (Formative Assessment and Summative/Integrated

Assessment). Each assessment has its own rule for passing to be declared competent.

Formative Assessment

- This is applied on all types of modules (e.g. Complementary, General and Specific

modules)

- A trainee to be competent for a formative module must have at least 70% on checked

items or “yes” in indicators (e.g. questions, indicators in the checklist)

- Each trainee should be competent on all formative assessments to be declared

competent on that module

- All formative assessment should be declared competent before taking the

summative/integrated assessment

12| Page Skills for a better destiny

Summative/Integrated Assessment

All Summative/Integrated assessment should match with the content of the module in the curriculum.

Summative/Integrated Assessment is always in practical, giving it as a theoretical type of assessment is not acceptable.

The integrated situation provided in the curriculum is a sample of the assessment to be carried out, the Trainer/Teacher has the role of developing another one referring to the task to be carried out in the integrated situation in accordance to the circumstances inside school, but the integrated situation should stick on the components of a task.

During Summative/Integrated assessment, assessor panel members should be three (3).

This Summative/Integrated assessment can be seen in specific modules and the Trainee can be declared competent by the following rules:

For YES or NO scoring of indicators in Summative/Integrated Checklist

Assessment criteria Passing line in the assessment indicators

Quality of process 90%

Quality of product 100%

Relevance 90%

Rest of criteria/ any other criteria

(example: Safety) 100%

The trainee can be declared competent based on the assessment CRITERIA and its

respective assessment indicators

Note: The Assessor should check if the 10% indicator (Quality of Process and Relevance) in

which the trainee was not able to meet during Summative/Integrated Assessment should

not be among those indicators that can cause any hazard, or the one indicator that is

performed poorly where there is room for improvement.

1. During assessment, trainees with special needs (e.g. people with disability) should be assisted accordingly.

2. Deputy school manager in-charge of studies, class teacher, and trainer should consider the status (competent/not yet competent) of trainees before delivering the next module with pre-requisites.

3. Respect of flowchart particularly in considering the delivery of modules which has prerequisite of a following/subsequent module is considered in issuing TVET certificate, otherwise other modules can be given anytime.

4. All evidences during assessment (e.g. quiz, checklist, forms) should have a written form that is compiled in the trainer (source) and tTrainee (result) portfolio. Portfolio is the

13| Page Skills for a better destiny

responsibility of school, class teacher, and trainees. It should be given to trainees after certification.

5. Industrial Attachment Program (IAP) All trainees should finish and declared competent on all modules before taking IAP

module. Trainees should finish and declared competent on the 30 hours content of IAP

module written in the curriculum before they go to workplace or industry. The school should organize visit for all trainees in the workplace or industry to

confirm and assist IAP especially in filling up the logbook. An interview to the trainee should be conducted in the school after the IAP has been

completed and should be documented in the trainee portfolio. All completed logbooks should be part of the trainee portfolio.

GLOSSARY

1. Assessment: A process of gathering

and judging evidence in order to

decide whether a person has attained

a standard of performance.

2. Assessment criteria: Statements

which describe performances and

place them in context with sufficient

precision to allow valid and reliable

assessment.

3. Best practice: Management practices

and work processes that lead to

outstanding or top-class performance

and provide examples for others.

4. Competency standard: An industry-

determined specification of

performance which sets out the skills,

knowledge and attitudes required to

operate effectively in employment.

Competency standards are made up of

units of competency, which are

themselves made up of elements of

competency, together with

performance criteria, a range of

variables, and an evidence guide.

5. Competency: means the ability to

apply knowledge, skills and

personal, social and methodological

skills in the workplace or during

learning, as well as in personal and

professional development. This ability

or capacity is acquired through

leaning, exposure to the tasks and

series of training allowing one to

perform specific task autonomously.

Reason why in the context of the CBE

Framework competencies are

described as responsibility and

independence.

6. Competency-based assessment (or

CBA): The gathering and judging of

evidence in order to decide whether a

person has achieved a standard of

competency.

7. Complementary competencies: Set of

knowledge, skills and attitudes which

are not directly linked to a specific

occupation or industry, but which are

important for work, education and life

in general, such as communication,

mathematics, organizational aptitude,

and computer literacy, interpersonal

and analytical competency.

8. Core modules: Modules leading to

competencies’ acquisition that an

industry sector has agreed upon as

essential for a person to be accepted

as competent at a particular level. All

modules may be core, but in many

cases competency at a level will

involve core modules plus optional or

specialization modules. Core

competencies are normally those

central to work in a particular

industry.

9. Credential: Formal certification issued

for successful achievement of a

defined set of outcomes, e.g.

successful completion of a course in

recognition of having achieved

particular knowledge, skills or

competencies; successful completion

of an apprenticeship or traineeship.

618| Page Skills for a better destiny

10. Credit: The acknowledgement that a

person has satisfied the requirements

of a module.

11. Curriculum: The specifications for a

course or subject (module) which

describe all the learning experiences a

learner undergoes, generally including

objectives, content, intended learning

outcomes, teaching methodology,

recommended or prescribed

assessment tasks, assessment

exemplars, etc.

12. Evidence guide: The part of a

competency standard which provides

a guide to the interpretation and

assessment of the unit of competency,

including the aspects which need to be

emphasized in assessment,

relationships to other units, and the

required evidence of competency.

13. Flexible delivery: A range of

approaches to providing education

and training, giving learners greater

choice of when, where and how they

learn. Flexible delivery may involve

distance education, mixed-mode

delivery, online education, self-paced

learning, self-directed learning, etc.

14. Formal education: Also formal training

education or training provided in

educational institutions such as

schools, universities, colleges, etc. or

off the job in a workplace, usually

involving direction from a teacher or

instructor.

15. General competencies: competencies

correspond to larger operations that

go beyond the tasks, but generally

contribute to their implementation.

These activities require more

fundamental learning and are

generally common to several tasks and

transferable to many work situations.

16. Generic modules: Modules leading to

the attainment of complementary

competencies.

17. Informal education: The acquisition of

knowledge and skills through

experience, reading, social contact,

etc.

18. Internship: An opportunity for a

learner to integrate career related

experience by participating in planned,

supervised work.

19. Key competencies: Any of several

generic skills or competencies

considered essential for people to

participate effectively in the

workforce. Key competencies apply to

work generally, rather than being

specific to work in a particular

occupation or industry. The following

are key areas of competency which

were developed into seven key

competencies: collecting, analyzing

and organizing information;

communicating ideas and information;

planning and organizing activities;

working with others and in teams;

using mathematical ideas and

techniques; solving problems; and

using technology.

20. Knowledge: means the result of the

adoption of information through the

learning process. Knowledge is a set of

facts, principles, theories and practices

related to area of work or study. In

CBE context lifelong learning

knowledge is described as theoretical

and / or factual.

21. Learning outcomes: are statements

of what learner knows, understands

and can perform, based on the

completion of the learning process,

defined by knowledge, skill and

competency.

619| Page Skills for a better destiny

22. Learning activities: Suggested

activities that can be developed during

lesson planning and activity

preparation. The choice of learning

activities must be tailored according to

group size, available material

resources and communication tools.

23. Learning hours: Amount of hours

required to acquire the competency,

including the time allocated to

evaluation, which is estimated

between 5 and 10% of the total

learning time of the competency.

24. Learning outcomes: Statements that

indicate what learners will know or be

able to do as a result of a learning

activity. Learning outcomes are usually

expressed as knowledge, skills, or

attitudes.

25. Learning unit: Any of the basic

building blocks of a module, which

describes the key activities or the

elements of the work covered by the

module

26. Module: A unit of training which

corresponds to one competency and

which can be completed on its own or

linked to others.

27. Occupation: The principal business of

one’s life.

28. Performance criteria The part of a

competency standard specifying the

required level of performance in terms

of a set of outcomes which need to be

achieved in order to be deemed

competent. It describes the quality

requirements of the result obtained in

labor performance.

29. Qualification: means the formal name

for the result of a process of

assessment and validation, which is

obtained when a competent body

determines that an individual has

achieved learning outcomes to the

standards laid down.

30. Quality assurance: The systems and

procedures designed and

implemented by an organization to

ensure that its products and services

are of a consistent standard and are

being continuously improved.

31. Recognition of prior learning (or RPL):

The acknowledgement of a person’s

skills and knowledge acquired through

previous training, work or life

experience, which may be used to

grant status or credit in a subject or

module.

32. Skills: are the ability to apply

knowledge and use the principle of

“know how” to perform a specific task

and to solve the problem. In the

context of the CBE Framework, skills

are defined as cognitive (involving the

use of logical, intuitive and creative

thinking), practical (including

physical skill and use of methods,

materials, devices and instruments)

and social skills (communication and

cooperation skills, emotional

intelligence and other).

33. Specific competencies: Competencies

that are directly related to the tasks of

the occupation in the workplace

context. They refer to concrete,

practical, and focused aspects

34. Traineeship: A system of vocational

training combining off-the-job training

at an approved training provider with

on-the-job training and practical work

experience. Traineeships generally

take one to two years and are now a

part of the New Apprenticeships

system.

35. Unit of competency: A component of

a competency standard. A unit of

620| Page Skills for a better destiny

competency is a statement of a key

function or role in a particular job or

occupation. See also element of

competency, performance criteria,

and range of variables.
